"FedRooms (295936) is the US government's official negotiated hotel rate program. Government rates legally require a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in — this is federal policy, not hotel discretion. GSA.gov states: "Employees must present a valid government-issued ID at check-in." FedRooms properties are contractually required to enforce this policy. Unlike corporate codes where enforcement is optional, government rate verification is mandatory and systematic. Using FedRooms rates without government credentials constitutes federal contract fraud."

"Re: AAA rate. For years I didn't get asked for it & so stopped carrying the card, then one time at LHR Ren I was asked for it & I didn't have it. They let me keep the rate as a 1-time exception & since then I've carried the AAA card with me. PRG Marriott asked for it. I've not experienced it domestically, but have heard that some domestic properties carry it."

"I used the Google rate for the Ritz in Tokyo and was asked to send an e-mail from a corporate account. I don't work for Google so I just told them to charge me the regular room rate. The front desk person said okay. When I checked out, they had kept the corporate rate."
